What CAFP Members Say…

I belong to the CAFP because it is an organization that works hard every day to represent the interests of family physicians, striving to help improve physician practices and the care that our patients receive.

CAFP board member Kyle Leggott, MD, wrote a blogpost for the AAFP about the actual causes of hospital admissions. It isn't what you expect: the high cost of care is a critical problem for patients that can have severe effects down the road. ow.ly/QSOC50zXStD

Last night the American Academy of Family Physicians unequivocally condemned overt and structural racism, acknowledged racism as a public health crisis, and reiterated the role of family physicians in healing communities. We endorse this statement fully. ow.ly/Vkic50zVM8X
